Horizon view
Horizon from Sarton Y
51.2555° N, 121.7457° W · cell 8UDH
- Highest horizon point
- Sarton Y: 5.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 35°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 95°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,180 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 37.3° under it at azimuth 26°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:16 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
